Swanky Tunes

Swanky Tunes are a Russian electronic dance music trio composed of Vadim Shpak, Dmitry Burykin and Stanislav Zaytsev, formed in Smolensk in 1998 with different electronic styles in search of their own sound. At first, there were techno sounds mixed with vintage synthesizers. Then the group morphed makes a sound clearly influenced by the Big beat. Currently, some touches of techno, 80s electro, and progressive contemporary house complement their sound. At its inception, the band has a name in Russian, but in 1999 they decided to adapt to the English language, as it would be a more accessible name for the market.

Prior to 2012, they have collaborated closely with another Russian EDM duo, Hard Rock Sofa. They are currently ranked number 27 of the DJ Mag charts. The trio owns the label Showland, sub-label Armada Music, and has a weekly podcast of the same name.
